On Chu Jingxun's side, several generals came to his tent.
They have been staying here all these days, wasting military pay and not going out to fight a battle, so they couldn't hold back any longer and came to ask Chu Jingxun what he wanted to do.
Chu Jingxun didn't say anything.
At this moment, a soldier quickly ran into the tent, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Majesty, the court officials have left Qingzhou."
Chu Jingxun didn't show any expression when he heard this. After a while, he asked, "Are they all ready for my orders?"
"Your Highness, several generals just sent someone to report back, saying they are ready."
After hearing what the soldiers said, several generals looked at each other in confusion, wondering why they had not received any orders from the King of Jin.
Someone stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, why haven't we received any orders?"
"Your mission is to count the number of people and be ready to fight at any time."
Several generals were both excited and surprised. "Your Majesty, are you planning to go to war with Prince Su?"
"No, it's Prince Su who wants to launch a sneak attack on us." Chu Jingxun said lightly.
For a moment, they were panicked. How could they not have received any news? The spies had reported that Chu Jinghuai's army was fine. Moreover, the court ministers had just gone to negotiate peace and had left safely.
"Your Majesty, could there be a mistake?"
Chu Jingxun shook his head, "You guys go down and get ready."
"yes."
That night, Chu Jinghuai really led a large army to come, and there were shouts, the sound of horses' hooves and the collision of weapons everywhere.
Next to Chu Jingxun stood a man in green, his gaze fixed on the distant sky, which was red with flames of war. He asked worriedly, "Your Highness, can they stop Prince Su's army?"
"cannot."
"What?" The man in green was stunned, his eyes filled with confusion and surprise. The prince had carefully planned for so long, but now he couldn't even stop Prince Su's army. Was there any point in continuing this war?
Chu Jingxun narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "If they can do as I tell them, they can stop Jing Huai's army."
"Your Highness, do you mean that they are pretending to obey but actually disobeying?"
"That's right. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, not only did they not take my words seriously, they didn't even make any preparations." There was no trace of emotion in Chu Jingxun's voice.
The man in blue was indignant. For so many years, the prince had been looked down upon by these generals because of his poor health. Now they had lost their lives because of this, and it was what they deserved.
As for their prince's skills, even Prince Su is not as good as him. They don't know how to cherish it. They are really a bunch of idiots.
Chu Jingxun shook his head slightly, as if he was already accustomed to this kind of situation. He said calmly, "Go tell our people and prepare for the worst."
"Yes." The man in green responded quickly and retreated quickly, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Half an hour later.
"Your Highness, it's bad. Prince Su's army is about to attack." A soldier rushed into the tent in panic and reported, his voice trembling.
"I understand." Chu Jingxun just responded lightly and didn't take it to heart.
"My Lord, what should we do now?"
"Give the order to withdraw the troops."
"yes."
…
"We won too quickly." Ji Yunche looked at the battlefield from his horse. He hadn't expected the imperial army to be so vulnerable. He turned to Ji Yunzhou beside him and said, "Brother, you see, these people are too weak to fight."
After hearing what his brother said, Ji Yunzhou nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
As Ji Yunche walked, he couldn't help but complain, "I've never fought such an easy battle before. These 300,000-strong army surrendered in less than half an hour."
There was a hint of disbelief in his tone. He had thought it would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly.
Ji Yunzhou glanced around the battlefield and said slowly, "No, there are not 300,000 of them, but at most 200,000."
"Ah! What about the remaining 100,000 troops?"
Ji Yunzhou shook his head.
At this moment, a soldier brought two people over and reported: "General Ji, these two people just tried to escape."
"Who escaped? Who escaped? Open your dog eyes and look, is there any need for this prince to escape?" Chu Jingyue was escorted by the soldiers, but he shouted in dissatisfaction.
Ji Yunzhou couldn't help laughing when he saw Chu Jingyue's expression.
Chu Jingyue became even more angry when he saw Ji Yunzhou laughing. He shouted, "Ji Yunzhou, if you don't tell them to untie me, I'll tell my third brother and punish you."
Ji Yunzhou coughed lightly and said slowly, "Ninth Prince, you and I are now enemies."
Chu Jingyue rolled his eyes, changed his strategy, and said, "Then I will tell the Third Princess that you abused me."
Ji Yunzhou ignored him.
The fighting had just stopped and everyone was cleaning up the battlefield.
Chu Jinghuai stood in front of the makeshift tent. After receiving the news that Chu Jingxun was withdrawing troops to the south, he did not think it was strange.
Ji Yunzhou asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Your Highness, I find this matter somewhat strange. Prince Jin is leading his troops south at this time, withdrawing from the war and handing over the capital. Mobilizing an army of 300,000 is not easy. If Prince Jin leaves like this, the Queen will be vomiting blood."
Chu Jinghuai nodded gently. He had expected Chu Jingxun to be prepared, but he hadn't expected him to be so straightforward and take away a hundred thousand troops. Before, Chu Jingxun had always been controlled by the queen, but now he was like a horse that had broken free from its reins, no longer obeying the queen's orders.
Ji Yunzhou continued, "Your Highness, we have won this battle. As for what Prince Jin wants to do, let him do it. After all, these 100,000-strong army poses no threat to us."
